IMPORTANT UPDATE:
After reinstalling WP 3.6 and testing NGG 2.0.7 as the only plugin installed with a clean Thematic + childtheme with no additional functions or styles I found that installing NGG immediately broke the visual editor.
I tested loading NGG into another dev site that I set up yesterday with the same basic specs and the visual editor worked fine. So, the question was what was the difference between the two?
The only difference was that permalinks in the site losing it’s visual editor capability had NOT been set to “post name.”
*** Once permalinks were set to “post name” from the install default, the visual editor reappeared ***
I have yet to do further testing of NGG 2.0.7 functionality or search for any other issues in these two dev sites. But, setting permalinks corrected this specific issue.

In reply to: [Event Calendar] Accept RSS Feed?A bit of clarification…
Are there other calendar formats that can be imported or accepted via a feed, such as .ics or other Ajax Event Calendars.

In reply to: Need plugin suggestion – event calander with remindersmsarro –
I second your motion for #3, allowing “outsiders” to add event but the events requiring moderation before going live.
I am hoping that the author of the Ajax Events Calendar (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ajax-event-calendar/) will add that feature. It has been requested on his Google Project page for the plugin: http://code.google.com/p/wp-aec/
I’m hopping on this month old bandwagon that has not been addressed as well.
I know that you can set the default WordPress registration role to Calendar Contributor so that folks that aren’t admins can add events.
HOWEVER, the question remains:
**** Can events added by such a user be moderated *****
Please, if someone that knows would reply that would be great.
I’m not positive about the import since I had not checked the database tables. I had no way of knowing what the behavior should have been.
I will run a local test and see if I can parse out the shortcode correctly and report back.
Thanks Ty.
Well, I attempted to upgrade on a live site, and the result was empty schedule pages. I tried on a local dev version of the site and got the same result.
There was was no db error. The schedules simply do not display. I ran the update. It reported success and that was it.
Now, the shortcodes I have are more complex than just dropping in one big schedule. The most complex one is below. We have multiple classes, classrooms and adding to the complexity is these are offered to different age groups. So I had to get somewhat creative with classrooms and instructors. Your new version includes a setting to allow classroom/time conflicts, which would allow us to simplify this one’s structure.
EXAMPLE SHORTCODE: For children’s class schedule
[wcs classroom=”Age 3″ “Age 3-4” “Age 4” “Age 5-6 – Ballet” “Age 5-6 – Jazz” “Age 5-6 – Tap” “Age 7-9 – Ballet Intro” “Age 7-9 – Ballet 1” “Age 7-9 – Ballet 2” “Age 7-9 – Jazz Intro” “Age 7-9 – Jazz 1” “Age 7-9 – Jazz 2” “Age 7-9 – Tap Intro” “Age 7-9 – Tap 1” “Age 7-9 – Tap 2” “Age 7-9 – Hip Hop” “Age 10-12 – Ballet Intro” “Age 10-12 – Ballet 1” “Age 10-12 – Ballet 2” “Age 10-12 – Ballet 2/3” “Age 10-12 – Ballet 3” “Age 10-12 – Jazz Intro” “Age 10-12 – Jazz 1” “Age 10-12 – Jazz 2” “Age 10-12 – Jazz 2/3” “Age 10-12 – Jazz 3” “Age 10-12 – Tap Intro” “Age 10-12 – Tap 1” “Age 10-12 – Tap 2” “Age 10-12 – Hip Hop”]You can view the live version of this here: http://www.houstonmetdance.org/childrens-classes
EXAMPLE SHORTCODE: for teen/adult schedule. Even this one does not import the data
[wcs classroom=”Ballet” “Pointe” “Jazz” “Tap” “Hip Hop” “Modern” ]
This one is viewable here: http://www.houstonmetdance.org/teenadult-schedule
I’m willing to run the updated again on my local version to see if any error arises.
Hey Ty – you exist!! I appreciate you chiming in.
Yes. I figured out it’s creating new tables…with no easy way to port over existing data.
The problem is that it took hours to input the schedule the first time.
I didn’t see it mentioned anywhere that upgrading would result in having to fully re-input one’s data. That is a pretty major reason not to ever upgrade – if one constantly has a fairly complex schedule in place.
My client is asking whether we should consider going back to a PDF schedule. I haven’t found any class schedule plugin that comes as close to what we need as yours. But starting over is not a reasonable option. My client doesn’t know how to port the information, they don’t want to rebuild it from scratch and would prefer not paying to have me do it for them.
Do you have any suggestions to make upgrading reasonable for those of us that have existing schedules?
Eran – I can change that style til the cows come home, but it is not overriding the li:hover border style. The style you mention above, is for a shadow rather than border.
I’ve even copied the style from custom.css, pasted in my stylesheet and tried to kill the shadow to no avail.
Any additional input?
I love the calendar features, but the unstyling has been a pain so that we can have the event list match our design.
Is there any support for this plugin? What happend to the creator of the plugin?

In reply to: [Query Posts] [Plugin: Query Posts] plugin is using deprecated functionsGreat!
Johan –
I loaded the new version. I’m not longer getting the error in my error_log about the popup. It hasn’t solve the problem so perhaps it has nothing to do with the custom-post-widget.
BTW, I love your widget. It has become an essential one to allow end users to format rich widget content without HTML.
Thanks Johan. I’ll try it out and report back!

In reply to: [Query Posts] [Plugin: Query Posts] plugin is using deprecated functionsGetting this same error. But as jdingman’s error shows, it’s claiming an error in a core WP file. How can we fix this?
Anyone successfully upgraded WC Schedule within WP 3.4.1 and willing to provide some insight in doing it while preserving current schedules?

In reply to: [Event Calendar] [Plugin: Ajax Event Calendar] Override eventlist CSS?Thanks Carl –
I did finally manage to get my styles properly configured to override those in the custom.css without actually editing custom.css.
The key was actually that there is a shortcode setting for the Event List that strips the coloring out. So once I set:
[eventlist whitelabel="true"]I was able to style from my own stylesheet.
